Get Together or Pets?

I just got seasons, and was thinking about also getting Cats & Dogs. When I did my research, I saw what an empty pack it is. I enjoy pets in my game, but it’s not something I’m DESPERATE for. I also never thought I’d enjoy get together, until reading about how much it adds to the game. I’m a family player, I don’t do rotational play, and I enjoy taking my sims on outings but not TOO often. Which pack would you recommend for me? I already have GTW (meh) City Living (Love!) seasons (just got it recently but it makes Sims so immersive) Thank you!

  • Yeah, GT is great for family play. I use it for my kids to have sleepovers with their little friends, or for scout gatherings, or for family outings.
  • Thanks everyone! I got GT last night (along with dine out and bowling stuff) and I love it so far!

    I've never been into get together, it just seems to be all about nightclubs and partying which just isn't my thing, I don't really see it as a pack for family play. I'd suggest cats and dogs if you're a family player, Brindleton Bay is a great world for families and with the addition to add pets, I haven't had any bugs with the pets .


    The club system is way underrated. I've used clubs to have my Sim kids meet up to play at the parks so they have more opportunity to form friendships. I've also used it to do things with my adult family members. For example in one save I had a pair of siblings in an apartment in San Myshuno. Eventually both got married, but I put them and their spouses in a club, Sibling Revelry, so they could easily go out to dinner or bowling (since I have Bowling Night Stuff) and other adult activities. I put their children in a club, Cousins & Such, for them to meet up and play at each other's houses or at the park. I've done chess clubs for my Sims to help build their Logic skill (or Mental skill for my Whiz kids). Workout groups for my athletes in training. I'm considering a Criminal club for my potential tough guys/gals; have a hangout for them in the basement of my bar that has the Mean Vibe. Clubs are only limited by content owned and your imagination.

    Get Together is a great pack for family play not just with the clubs but wiht some of the objects added. I try to find a space for a Don't Wake The Llama table in all my houses so the family can have the occasional game night. Foosball and darts are also good for family competitions and with Seasons can help to entertain the family when they start to get a bit of "cabin fever". And while I like Brindleton Bay, Windenburg is absolutely gorgeous, and probably even more so in the snow. B)
  • Cats and Dogs isn’t nearly as empty as some make it out to be, what it lacks in content it has in depth (as well as Build/Buy mode and CAS items). Cats and Dogs has a lot of depth, the actual cat and dog experience varies based on the traits of the pets and offers a nice twist to any household, plus I find running businesses in Sims 4 in general quite fun, so the vet aspect is a bonus for me when I choose to play around with it. The world is gorgeous but also adds a nice collection of leisure activities for the cats and dogs themselves. Since you say you’re a family player I’d recommend Cats and Dogs over Get Together, but both are still generall really nice packs.

    Personally I get more use out of Cats and Dogs, I have at least one pet in almost all my households at this point because I find them so enjoyable to just own and observe how different they all are and how they change the daily lives of my sims.
  • GT adds more gameplay, but the Build/Buy items in C&D are really nice too.
